Toys For Tots Holiday

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Irvine, CA – The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered countless businesses, forced families to remain isolated in their homes and has resulted in millions of parents now being unemployed, without income, and in dire need of support. It was the perfect opportunity to give for the holiday. Bacoo Rum was asked to participate this  holiday season and they jumped at the opportunity. Toys for Tots is the nation’s flagship children’s Christmas-time charity.

The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects and distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million less fortunate children each year during the holiday season through a very active and robust distribution network in over 800 local communities in all 50 states.  

“In these unprecedented times, we’re deeply concerned about COVID-19 and its devastating impact on the lives of all Americans and want to offer assistance,” said Lt. Gen Jim Laster, USMC (Ret), President & CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.  

Toys, books and games offer many benefits during this extraordinary time of need.  They will help to combat boredom, relieve anxiety in children, facilitate a return to normalcy, and even contribute to the educational development of our nation’s most precious resource – our children.

Toys for Tots has been the charity of choice for Bacoo Rum Holiday campaign since 2017 along with a few other amazing brands we join together to benifit Toys For Tots.  This partnership will generate greater impact.  Together we are more than just the sum of our parts – providing us with an opportunity to “do more good.” 

Look for liquor  brands to buy along with any bottle of Bacoo Rum to earn that Toys For Tots donation in Maryland and Delaware with the Toys For Tots signage.
